Decreases in construction, industrial activities or the convention business could adversely affect our revenues and operating results by decreasing the demand for our equipment or the rental rates or prices we can charge. Our substantial debt exposes us to various risks. If we are unable to obtain additional capital as required, we may be unable to fund the capital outlays required for the success of our business, including those relating to purchasing equipment and to new rental branches. If we expand our operations, we may incur significant transaction expenses and experience risks associated with entering new markets. We depend on key personnel whom we may not be able to retain. The equipment rental industry is highly competitive, and competition could lead to a decrease in our market share or in the rental rates and prices we charge. Disruptions in our information technology systems could adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations. The nature of our business exposes us to liability claims, which may exceed the level of our insurance. We must comply with numerous environmental and occupational health and safety regulations that may subject us to unanticipated liabilities. We may encounter substantial competition in our efforts to expand our operations. We are controlled by one shareholder. His interests may conflict with the interests of the holders of our notes. We purchase a significant amount of our equipment from a small number of manufacturers. Termination of our relationship with any of those manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on our business because we may be unable to obtain adequate rental and sales equipment from other sources in a timely manner or at all. Our rental fleet is subject to residual value risk upon disposition. Fluctuations in fuel costs or reduced supplies of fuel could harm our business.
